Reviewing questions:

Preeclampsia is diagnosed with new-onset hypertension occurring after 20 weeks' gestation with proteinuria. The combination of hypertension and proteinuria during pregnancy is diagnostic for preeclampsia until proven otherwise. Diagnostic criteria:

Hypertension:

Systolic blood pressure ≥140 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure ≥90 mmHg on 2 occasions at least 4 hours apart after 20 weeks of gestation in a previously normotensive patient, or

If systolic blood pressure is ≥160 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure is ≥110 mmHg, confirmation within minutes is sufficient

Proteinuria ≥0.3 g in a 24-hour urine specimen or protein (mg/dL)/creatinine (mg/dL) ratio ≥0.3 or dipstick 1+ if a quantitative measurement is unavailable

In patients with new-onset hypertension without proteinuria, the new onset of any of the following is diagnostic of preeclampsia:

-Platelet count 1.1 mg/dL or doubling of serum creatinine in the absence of other renal disease -Liver transaminases at least twice the normal concentrations -Pulmonary edema -Cerebral or visual symptoms

Preeclampsia usually occurs in the third trimester. If preeclampsia occurs before the third trimester, you should think of gestational trophoblastic disease. Preexisting hypertension increases the risk for intrauterine growth retardation and preeclampsia. Risk factors for preeclampsia include chronic renal disease, chronic hypertension, family history, multiple gestations, nulliparity, a very young woman with her first child, diabetes, and being African American. If the neonate is at term, definitive treatment is delivery. If the neonate is at preterm, the hypertension can be treated with hydralazine, methyldopa, or labetalol. Then, bedrest and observing the patient are advised.

Bottom Line: New-onset hypertension with proteinuria after 20 weeks' gestation is diagnosed as preeclampsia.

The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) and most other organizations worldwide continue to recommend magnesium sulfate for seizure prophylaxis and prevention of eclampsia, especially in patients with severe preeclampsia.

ACOG recommends that the decision of whether to use magnesium sulfate for seizure prophylaxis in patients with preeclampsia without severe features be determined using shared decision-making on a patient-by-patient basis. Magnesium sulfate has been shown to be superior to other medical interventions for pregnant women with eclampsia in multiple trials.

Neuromuscular toxicity is the most consistently observed complication of hypermagnesemia. Magnesium is contraindicated in women with myasthenia gravis, as it has been shown to precipitate severe myasthenic crisis. Increased magnesium decreases impulse transmission across the neuromuscular junction. Decreased deep tendon reflexes are usually the first sign of magnesium toxicity and can be seen when the plasma magnesium concentration reaches 7 to 10 mEq/L.

If there is a magnesium drip, it should be stopped at this point. Other side effects of magnesium include respiratory paralysis (10–13 mEq/L), pulmonary edema, hypocalcemia, hyperkalemia, and cardiac arrest (greater than 25 mEq/L). Intravenous calcium gluconate can be administered to reverse severe magnesium sulfate toxicity.

Preeclampsia with severe features requires any one or more of the following factors:

1. Symptoms of central nervous system dysfunction:

New-onset cerebral or visual disturbance, such as:

Photopsia, scotomata, cortical blindness, retinal vasospasm Severe headache (ie, incapacitating, "the worst headache I've ever had") or headache that persists and progresses despite analgesics Altered mental status

2. Hepatic abnormality:

Severe, persistent, right upper quadrant or epigastric pain unresponsive to medication and not accounted for by an alternative diagnosis or serum transaminase concentration ≥ twice normal, or both

3. Severe blood pressure elevation:

Systolic blood pressure ≥160 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure ≥110 mmHg on 2 occasions at least 4 hours apart while the patient is on bedrest (unless the patient is on antihypertensive therapy)

4. Thrombocytopenia:

Less than 100,000 platelets/μL

5. Renal abnormality:

Progressive renal insufficiency (serum creatinine greater than 1.1 mg/dL or doubling of serum creatinine concentration in the absence of other renal disease)

6. Pulmonary edema

Patients may also have HELLP syndrome, which stands for hemolysis, elevated liver function tests, and low platelets. Definitive treatment is delivery if the patient is at term. If preterm, delivery of the neonate is advised once the mother is stabilized to prevent the death of both mother and neonate.

The diagnosis of polyhydramnios is based upon sonographic visualization of increased amniotic fluid volume (AFV). It is diagnosed when there is a single deepest pocket ≥ 8 cm and an amniotic fluid index (AFI) ≥ 24 cm.

The most common cause of severe polyhydramnios are fetal anomalies (often associated with an underlying genetic abnormality or syndrome), while maternal diabetes, multiple gestation, and idiopathic factors are more often associated with milder cases. Polyhydramnios has been associated with fetal anomalies in most organ systems.

Vaginal bleeding is the most common symptom of a complete molar pregnancy and occurs when the molar tissue separates from the decidua. The uterus may also become distended by large pooling of blood, which can overflow into the vaginal vault. This symptom occurs in greater than 95% of cases. Other common symptoms of complete molar pregnancy include hyperemesis, nausea, and signs of hyperthyroidism such as tachycardia, tremor, and warm skin. These findings are a result of markedly elevated beta hCG associated with complete hydatidiform moles. Physical examination typically reveals a uterine size inconsistent with gestational age. Ultrasonography is the gold standard for diagnosis of both complete and partial molar pregnancies and elicits a classic “snowstorm pattern,” or "bunch of grapes" which is simply a mass of heterogenous echogenic material.

Bottom Line: Findings consistent of preeclampsia before 20 weeks, uterine enlargement, disproportional fundal height, and “snowstorm pattern” on ultrasound with no gestational sac all point to the diagnosis of complete molar pregnancy.

There are several key differences between complete and partial hydatidiform mole to be aware of when evaluating a patient with a potential molar pregnancy. Genetically, partial hydatidiform moles are triploid, usually as a result of two sperm fertilizing a normal ovum. Thus, you will see 69 chromosomes (for example, 69XXX or 69XXY) as opposed to a normal 46XY or 46XX in complete hydatidiform mole. Symptomatically, partial molar pregnancies will have fewer sequelae, such as hyperemesis, uterine enlargement or vaginal bleeding, as a result of lower hCG levels than complete molar pregnancies. Finally, a fetus, amniotic fluid and gestational sac can be seen on ultrasound with partial molar pregnancies (sometimes even with fetal heartbeat), whereas no fetus is seen in complete molar pregnancy.

Molar pregnancy tx: It is important to remember that hydatidiform moles are capable of developing into a malignant disease called gestational trophoblastic neoplasm. As such, evacuation of the uterus by dilatation and curettage (D+C) or dilation and evacuation (D+E) is always necessary following this diagnosis.

Clinical chorioamnionitis is an acute ascending, polymicrobial infection of the membranes and chorion of the placenta that can occur in women with prolonged rupture of membranes (defined as greater than 18 hours). Intraamniotic infection occurs in 15-25% of PPROM cases, with a higher incidence occurring at earlier gestational ages. Diagnostic criteria include maternal fever, maternal tachycardia, fetal tachycardia (fetal heart rate > 160/min), leukocytosis, or presence of purulent vaginal discharge. When chorioamnionitis is diagnosed, then IV antibiotics should be started and delivery should occur. In the absence of maternal decompensation or fetal distress, then prompt induction or augmentation of labor is recommended, with a c-section reserved for standard obstetric indications (history of prior CS, fetal distress, fetal malposition, labor dystocia, etc.).

Twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome occurs in monozygotic monochorionic twins and is the result of intrauterine blood transfusion from one twin to another. The donor twin will be small for gestational age; will develop hypovolemia, anemia, and oligohydramnios; and will be oliguric. The recipient twin will be large for gestational age, plethoric, and ruddy and have hypervolemia, polyhydramnios, jaundice, hypertension, and congestive heart failure. This is due to hypoperfusion of the donor twin and hyperperfusion of the recipient twin. Hemoglobin differences are typically greater than 5 g/dL. Hydrops fetalis can present in both twins. Treatment is a reduction amniocentesis.

Radiation exposure less than 50mGy (5 rads) in pregnancy provides negligible risk to the fetus. Radiographic, fluoroscopic, and CT examinations in areas of the body other than the abdomen and pelvis deliver minimal radiation doses to the fetus. Fetal radiation doses from radiographic, fluoroscopic, and CT examinations of the abdomen and pelvis and from nuclear medicine studies rarely exceed 25 mGy. The absolute risks of fetal effects, including childhood cancer induction, are small at conceptus doses of 100 mGy and negligible at doses of less than 50 mGy.

After giving methotrexate to treat an ectopic pregnancy, patients must be carefully followed. The day the methotrexate is given is considered day 1. The β-human chorionic gonadotropin (bHCG) will be checked again on day number 4 and day number 7. It is typical for the bHCG to increase between day 1 and day 4. If it rises during this point, nothing needs to be done. However, between day number 4 and day number 7, the bHCG must decrease by at least 15%. If the bHCG decreases by at least this much, then the bHCG will be checked every week until the level reaches 0. If the bHCG does not decrease by 15%, then another dose of methotrexate is warranted if the patient remains stable and there are no signs of rupture.

Bottom Line: Patients given methotrexate must have bHCG levels followed. From day 4 until day 7, the level must drop by 15%. If it does not, then a second dose of methotrexate is warranted.

COMBANK Insight: There is a single-dose and a two-dose regimen for methotrexate. In the two-dose regimen, a second dose of methotrexate is automatically administered on day 4; otherwise, the regimen steps are the same.

Primary postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) occurs in 1-3% of pregnancies and is defined as 1000 mL of blood loss along with signs of hypovolemia. Causes include uterine atony (most common), bleeding disorders, trauma, and retained placental tissue. Uterine atony can be suspected when there is a history of overdistension (multiple gestations, grand multiparty) or prolonged labor.

Initial treatment includes bimanual or fundic massage. If that fails, uterotonic medications should be given. Oxytocin is usually first-line with the addition of either methylergonovine or carboprost if needed. If that fails, balloon tamponade can be attempted. It is important to assess vitals, hemoglobin/hematocrit, platelets, and coagulation status and initiate volume resuscitation as needed.

When conservative measures fail, the best first approach is uterine artery embolization. This is minimally invasive and has less risk than surgical measures. Conservative surgical options include arterial ligations and compression sutures. Hysterectomy should only be performed if all other measures fail or are unavailable or if there is massive hemorrhage/hemodynamic instability.

So you're REALLY into polyhydroaminos... I'd google it but fetish logic and real conditions don't overlap, so what does that mean to you?

👀It's funny cause at first I was like "I mean I'm into it but I'm not THAT into it, I'm about as into it as I am into anything else that makes a pregnant tummy bigger" and then I took two seconds to consider just HOW into pregnant bellies I am and... yeah I'm pretty into it lol. It's good flavor for making a pregnancy even larger and more cumbersome (It helps that everyone ordering off of the McPreggo menu lately has been getting the sandwich that gives you polyhydramnios so like... I've been able to bring it up a lot).

I mean for me, my understanding is pretty much that google definition of "medical condition which causes increased/too much amniotic fluid in the womb" and like... I like that. It makes a belly not just larger but tighter, too. And you can really tell! I can't find her any more but there was one woman whos pregnancy pictures were circulating around and she had developed a really intense case of it and straight up, this sounds fake but I'm not making this up, her treatment actually included draining some of the excess fluid out of her. And in the progression, you can tell when they did it, because there's a bandage on her tummy and she's visibly smaller. She had so much extra fluid that when they took it out you could VISIBLY TELL. Maybe I'm just weird but that shit's hot.

Like, if you want a great example of what polyhydramnios does to a pregnant belly, one really good recent example (which if you've been around this circle of tumblr in the last few months you've probably seen her) is THIS LADY HERE. She had the triple threat of being quite short (like 5"1' if not less), getting pregnant with twins, and then of course polyhydramnios on top of it. In that last link especially, you can SEE how tightly stretched she is. Her belly is downright SHINY because of how full she is. That's not oiled up, that's just dry, bare skin. That's just what she looked like. And while she would have definitely been huge with just twins and being short, the extra fluid really pushed her over the top. There's tons of footage of her cause she's an influencer and there's a bit where someone asks if she can squeeze her thighs together while sitting down with her belly so big and she attempts it... and quickly fails. You see her belly shift up as she tries but she's so big and heavy that she had to keep her legs apart just to sit.

Anyway, probably more text than you expected off of a short ask but... I have THOUGHTS on that condition and my thoughts are it's very sexy.

[lilwifeynextdoor]

Reflecting on my hardest pregnancy so far, which was my 3rd. My fatigue symptoms were so severe it felt like I could hardly stay awake. I developed polyhydramnios, it didn't cause any complications. But, my legs and feet were so swollen and my stomach was so stretched tight and full of amniotic fluid that it ached and itched all the time. I was so packed tight that I was breathless when doing anything but laying down, just sitting up even felt like it was squishing my lungs. And the heartburn sucked so bad. I was non stop eating yogurt and bananas just to soothe the burning. Towards the end I was on bed rest to reduce the pressure on my cervix, and to help prevent him from being a preemie. I relied so much on others to help take care of my other two boys during that time, it was hard.

I'll never forget the different shocked looks on my friends and families faces when I announced that I was pregnant again after that. I'm sure most of them thought the tribulations of my third pregnancy would have me stop there instead of going on to have more. But they can't understand the beautiful peace and purpose I felt when being handed Silas for the first time as Grant kissed me on the forehead and told me he wanted another.

[obscenely-overdue]

how many are you carrying? and would you ever want to carry again?

Two very big, healthy twins, with some moderate polyhydramnios which the doctors keep a close eye on (extra amniotic fluid, to save you the google search). It explains why I'm so big despite my height.

I think after these two are born, after my body as recovered and we're all settled... I could definitely go for round two. It's very straining, and has a lot of hassles, but I have a great support network to help, and honestly, I love how I feel when I'm pregnant. I'm gonna miss this when I give birth, and I'll need to remind myself not to rush back into it immediately, even if I'd like to...

Gotta get my money's worth out of my maternity clothes, though, right?

[metamorphosisme]

My goal for today was to shower and do my hair to take a pregnancy pic but I feel like the only thing I'm actually gonna get done is moving my safe food meal pictures to a separate folder 📂 🙃

1 more week to go before babys here! So scared to see what the scale end result is. 😕 I ended up having polyhydramnios so im absolutely, grossly, full of water / overweight -.-

Really hoping my skin will love me :c if anyone has some tricks to help get shape back and to treat skin after pregnancy feel free to comment!!

The Role of Ultrasound in Antenatal Care: What Your Obstetrician Will Check

Ultrasound is a pivotal tool in antenatal care, providing crucial insights into the health and development of both the mother and the fetus. This non-invasive imaging technique uses high-frequency sound waves to create detailed images of the baby and the reproductive organs, helping obstetricians monitor pregnancy progress and detect potential issues.

Here’s a look at the role of ultrasound in antenatal care and what your obstetrician will check during these essential scans.

1. Confirming Pregnancy and Estimating Due Date

Early in pregnancy, ultrasound is used to confirm the presence of a fetal heartbeat and establish the due date. This is typically done through a transvaginal ultrasound in the first trimester, which provides clear images of the early developing fetus and helps verify the gestational age. Accurate dating of the pregnancy is crucial for planning and monitoring subsequent care.

2. Assessing Fetal Development

Ultrasound scans are essential for evaluating fetal development throughout pregnancy. Your obstetrician will use ultrasound to monitor the baby’s growth, check the development of major organs, and assess overall well-being. A detailed anatomy scan is performed in the second trimester, typically between 18 and 22 weeks, to examine the baby’s structure and ensure that organs and limbs are developing typically.

3. Monitoring Amniotic Fluid Levels

The amount of amniotic fluid surrounding the fetus is an important indicator of fetal health. Ultrasound helps measure the amniotic fluid levels, revealing conditions such as oligohydramnios (low amniotic fluid) or polyhydramnios (excess amniotic fluid). Proper fluid levels are essential for cushioning the baby and facilitating normal development and movement.

4. Evaluating Placental Position

The position of the placenta is another critical aspect monitored through ultrasound. Your obstetrician will check for placental abnormalities, such as placenta previa (the placenta covering the cervix) or placental abruption (the placenta detaching from the uterine wall). Monitoring the placenta’s location and condition ensures safe delivery and avoids complications.

5. Detecting Multiple Pregnancies

Ultrasound is also used to determine whether you carry more than one baby. Multiple pregnancies, such as twins or triplets, require special monitoring and management to ensure the health of both the mother and the babies. Ultrasound helps assess the number of fetuses, their positions, and the presence of any shared placentas or amniotic sacs.

6. Identifying Fetal Position and Presentation

In the later stages of pregnancy, ultrasound helps determine the baby’s position and presentation, such as whether the baby is head-down or breech. This information is valuable for planning the mode of delivery and preparing for any necessary interventions if the baby is in a non-optimal position for a vaginal birth.

Ultrasound is crucial in antenatal care Sydney obstetrician, offering valuable insights into fetal development, placental health, and overall pregnancy progress. By providing detailed images and essential measurements, ultrasound helps obstetricians monitor and manage pregnancy effectively, ensuring the best possible outcomes for both mother and baby. Regular ultrasound scans are integral to comprehensive antenatal care, helping identify potential issues early and provide timely interventions.

How Ultrasound Diagnostics Enhance Prenatal Care

Introduction: Ultrasound diagnostics have become an indispensable tool in prenatal care, offering invaluable insights into the health and development of the fetus and the well-being of the mother. This non-invasive imaging technique uses sound waves to create real-time images of the developing baby, allowing healthcare providers to monitor progress and detect potential issues early. This article explores the many ways ultrasound diagnostics enhance prenatal care.

1. Confirming Pregnancy and Estimating Due Date

One of the first uses of ultrasound in prenatal care is to confirm pregnancy. An early ultrasound can verify the presence of a gestational sac and fetal heartbeat, providing reassurance to expectant parents.

Ultrasound is also used to estimate the due date. By measuring the crown-rump length of the fetus in the first trimester, healthcare providers can predict the delivery date with greater accuracy than using the last menstrual period alone.

2. Monitoring Fetal Growth and Development

Regular ultrasounds throughout pregnancy allow healthcare providers to monitor the growth and development of the fetus. Measurements of the head, abdomen, and femur length help ensure the baby is growing at a healthy rate.

Any deviations from the expected growth patterns can be detected early, allowing for timely interventions if necessary.

3. Assessing Fetal Anatomy and Detecting Anomalies

Detailed anatomical scans, typically performed between 18 and 22 weeks, assess the development of the fetus’s organs and structures. This comprehensive check helps detect congenital anomalies such as heart defects, neural tube defects, and limb abnormalities.

Early detection of these conditions allows parents and healthcare providers to plan for any necessary medical care or interventions after birth.

4. Evaluating Placental Position and Function

Ultrasound diagnostics are crucial for assessing the position and function of the placenta. Placenta previa, a condition where the placenta covers the cervix, can be identified early, allowing for careful monitoring and planning for delivery.

The health and function of the placenta can also be assessed, ensuring it is providing adequate nutrients and oxygen to the growing fetus.

5. Monitoring Amniotic Fluid Levels

Adequate levels of amniotic fluid are essential for fetal development. Ultrasound can measure the amniotic fluid index (AFI) or the deepest pocket of fluid to ensure levels are within the normal range.

Abnormal levels, either too high (polyhydramnios) or too low (oligohydramnios), can indicate potential complications and require further monitoring and management.

6. Guiding Prenatal Diagnostic Procedures

Ultrasound is often used to guide invasive prenatal diagnostic procedures such as amniocentesis and chorionic villus sampling (CVS). These procedures involve taking samples of amniotic fluid or placental tissue to test for genetic conditions.

Real-time ultrasound guidance ensures the safety and accuracy of these procedures, minimizing risks to both the mother and fetus.

7. Assessing Fetal Well-being in High-Risk Pregnancies

In high-risk pregnancies, such as those involving diabetes, hypertension, or multiple gestations, frequent ultrasounds are essential for monitoring fetal well-being.

Biophysical profiles, which combine ultrasound with non-stress tests, assess fetal movements, tone, breathing, and amniotic fluid levels to provide a comprehensive picture of the fetus’s health.

8. Detecting Ectopic Pregnancies

Early ultrasounds can detect ectopic pregnancies, where the embryo implants outside the uterus, often in a fallopian tube. This condition can be life-threatening if not treated promptly.

Early detection through ultrasound allows for timely medical intervention, reducing the risk of complications for the mother.

9. Providing Reassurance to Expectant Parents

Ultrasound scans provide visual confirmation of the baby’s development, offering reassurance to expectant parents. Seeing the baby’s heartbeat, movements, and growth fosters a stronger emotional bond and reduces anxiety.

Regular ultrasounds and the ability to track the baby’s progress can enhance the overall pregnancy experience, providing peace of mind.

10. Preparing for Labor and Delivery - Ultrasound plays a critical role in planning for labor and delivery. Late-term ultrasounds can assess the baby’s position, helping to determine if a vaginal delivery or cesarean section is more appropriate. - They also help in monitoring the cervix and checking for signs of preterm labor, ensuring timely and appropriate medical care.

Conclusion: Ultrasound diagnostics have revolutionized prenatal care, providing critical information that enhances the health and well-being of both the mother and the developing fetus. From confirming pregnancy and estimating due dates to detecting anomalies and guiding prenatal procedures, ultrasound is an invaluable tool in modern obstetrics. Its ability to provide real-time, detailed images allows for early detection and intervention, ensuring the best possible outcomes for expectant parents and their babies. By incorporating regular ultrasounds into prenatal care, healthcare providers can monitor progress, manage potential complications, and provide reassurance throughout the pregnancy journey.

The McPreggo Menu (6/09/24 update)

While I by no means came up with the McPreggo concept, I am a very big fan of it, so I wrote up a hypothetical menu for fun! This menu got a surprising amount of attention and I received a bunch of suggestions for future items. So here, I’ve implemented more of them and given the menu another content update! I tried to fit as many ideas as I could, but if I missed yours, send another anon and I’ll work it in next time! Full menu under the cut!

Every item can be ordered individually or in a combo! Numbered combos come with your choice of a side, and a drink! Different sides have different effects, try them all! [Items suggested anonymously have a ~ with a link to their originating ask]

Enjoy some asymmetry with a pronounced, lopsided torpedo belly! 50/50 odds if she picks left or right, but she’ll stick to it for the whole ordeal!

Adair

Clear your pantry with cravings for sweet and salty flavors, increased taste sensation, and extra movement to enjoy while eating!

Kayla

Stretch your skin to the limit with polyhydramnios, extra baby weight, extra stretchmarks, and extra veins for good measure! Be the waddling definition of “drum tight”!

Sausage Egg Muffin

A toasted english muffin housing a breakfast sausage patty, and a folded scrambled egg! A morning classic! If eaten before other McPreggo products, will delay the onset of those products by 1 hour per breakfast sandwich. Additional sandwiches will increase the duration of the delay. Delay timer begins after full consumption of the breakfast sandwich.

Bacon Egg Griddle

Crispy strips of bacon, folded scrambled egg, between two delicious maple flavored griddles! If eaten before other McPreggo products, will cause effects of those products to onset over time instead of instantly. Each sandwich consumed causes effects to onset over the course of 30 minutes, with additional griddles slowing the onset further. Cannot slow an onset to be longer than the base pregnancy duration.

The Baby Burrito

A breakfast burrito for those who are early-risers, this morning meal has scrambled eggs, sausage, bacon, melted cheese, and tater tots, wrapped in a warm flour tortilla. Gives you a singleton at 20 weeks along!

SPECIAL LIMITED TIME ITEMS

These items are only available for small windows of time, and don't interact with our other products due to their unique nature. They’re a big commitment, but provide a very genuine experience. For customers looking for something that takes more dedication than a standard combo meal.

The McCrib~

A special BBQ rib sandwich, only available during the first month of even numbered years. Slow cooked rib meat slathered in BBQ sauce, the McCrib answers the question of “what if humans could properly fully develop in the womb, rather than being born at just 9 months?”. Comparative to most other species, humans give birth very prematurely so that the baby can be safely delivered. McPreggo quantum babies aren’t ever birthed, allowing us to see what life would be like otherwise. Upon consuming a full McCrib, the customer starts on a 21 month pregnancy, spanning 7 trimesters, and allowing the quantum baby to grow to the size and weight of a one year old, with all the challenges and experiences that come with that. A slow burn experience, this pregnancy will include increased weight, size, and strength of the baby inside, finally reaching its apex after almost 2 years of uninterrupted pregnancy. It should be noted that McCrib pregnancies do not stack with each other, so only a singleton may be carried for 21 months. However, other McPreggo products will still function independently, meaning that additional temporary babies may be added, though baby altering effects from items such as the chicken nuggets, will have no effect on the McCrib baby.

The Beastly Burger

An extra large McPreggo burger stacked high with toppings, slathered in a unique “Monster Sauce”, and only sold annually during october. Initiates a 9 month long “anomalous pregnancy”, where the eater becomes pregnant with a mysterious, monstrous entity! Featuring many mouths, eyes, tentacles, and other fun additions that can be felt on the inner walls of the womb! Squirmy and active, it’ll make for a highly engaging and invigorating pregnancy! Will not interact with other McPreggo products, though they can be enjoyed in tandem. (Warning: unusual belly blemishes and strange cravings may occur)

The Festive Feast (Concept By @caitdrawsstuff2)

A unique seasonal item, sold annually during the month of december! A platter of roasted ham, sides of green beans, mashed potatoes, stuffing (with cranberry sauce), a warm roll, and a tall glass of sparkling apple cider (available in a limited time McPreggo branded reusable holiday cup)! Upon completion, initiates a singleton pregnancy which, for the next 12 days, every 24 hours, adds another baby to the consumer’s womb, resulting in full sized DUODECAPLETS by the end. If carrying twelve babies at once wasn’t enough, beginning with the first baby and repeating with each addition, the pregnancy will also incur one of 12 effects. The order of these effects is completely random, meaning only extraordinary lucky patrons will experience the same Festive Feast pregnancy twice.

The possible effects include: +15% extra baby weight, +20% stronger baby activity, +35% brighter stretchmark visibility, +12.5% additional belly length, +12.5% additional belly width, +75% craving and appetite strength, noticeable polyhydramnios, +25% vein visibility, +25% belly skin sensitivity, +12.5% hip width, Popped bellybutton, and 35% darker linea nigra. Effects cannot repeat during a single Festive Feast pregnancy. Will fully stack effects with other McPreggo products, but will continue to progress even after other items wear off. Whole Festive Feasts cannot stack. Festive Feasts are also sold frozen upon request, allowing them to be taken and enjoyed at home! It’s the gift that keeps on giving!

Enjoy carrying twins at multiple months overdue!

The Octomom ~

The sandwich in question includes: 1 beef patty, 1 chicken patty, 1 fish patty, 2 chicken strips, 2 chicken nuggets, and 2 spicy nuggets. This, when fully consumed, grants the consumer either full term triplets or quadruplets (50/50 odds), second trimester twins, with all babies 4% heavier and 8% more active, with polyhydramnios to top it off. Meatlovers, eat your heart out!

Maternal Masochist

For customers who want to push their pregnancy toward a more intense route, enjoy a Labor Inducer with spicy nuggets and ketchup, to get pregnant with one, enjoy strong braxton hicks contractions with an active baby, who’s also lopsided in your belly. About as uncomfortable as it gets, add additional quantum babies at your own risk.

“Has Pregnancy Increased Your Sex Drive?”

Gravid Gambler

Chicken nuggets, slathered in bbq sauce, with 2 Breaded babymaker patties as buns, with a side of mozz sticks, and marinara sauce! Roll the dice on twins to quads, add random extra duration, and throw in extra weight and some forgetfulness to keep it interesting!

Daily writing promptTell us about your first day at something — school, work, as a parent, etc. View all responses I’m going to talk about my first day as a parent. Near the end of the pregnancy, we were told that X1 had polyhydramnios. For those of you who didn’t bother clicking on the link, polyhydramnios is a condition where there is too much amniotic fluid during the pregnancy. In the case…

Chỉ số nước ối AFI là gì và có ý nghĩa như thế nào?

Chỉ số nước ối AFI là gì và có ý nghĩa như thế nào?

Chỉ số nước ối AFI (Amniotic Fluid Index) là một phần của quá trình đánh giá nước ối trong tử cung của một bà bầu. Nước ối là chất lỏng trong túi nước ối bao bọc thai nhi trong tử cung và có vai trò quan trọng trong việc bảo vệ và cung cấp môi trường cho sự phát triển của thai nhi. Chỉ số AFI được tính dựa trên kết quả siêu âm thai kỳ.

Cụ thể, để tính chỉ số nước ối AFI, bác sĩ sử dụng siêu âm thai để đo chiều sâu của túi nước ối ở nhiều vị trí khác nhau trong tử cung của bà bầu. Sau đó, các giá trị đo được tổng hợp lại để tạo thành chỉ số tổng lượng nước ối. Chỉ số AFI thường được tính bằng cm hoặc được đánh giá dưới dạng số.

Ý nghĩa của chỉ số nước ối AFI là đánh giá mức lượng nước ối có sẵn trong tử cung của một bà bầu. Mức nước ối có thể thay đổi theo thời gian trong suốt thai kỳ. Mức nước ối thấp (oligohydramnios) hoặc mức nước ối cao (polyhydramnios) có thể gây ra các vấn đề sức khỏe cho thai nhi và mẹ.

Oligohydramnios (nước ối thiếu): Có thể gây ra vấn đề về phát triển của thai nhi, vấn đề về hệ tiết niệu của thai nhi, hoặc nguy cơ sinh non tăng lên.

Polyhydramnios (nước ối quá nhiều): Có thể gây ra vấn đề về tiền sản giật, khó đặt thai, hoặc vấn đề về dây rốn.

Chỉ số nước ối AFI giúp bác sĩ theo dõi và đánh giá mức nước ối trong tử cung của bà bầu và có thể giúp trong việc xác định xem cần thực hiện các xét nghiệm hay can thiệp y tế nào để bảo vệ sức khỏe của thai nhi và mẹ.

[metamorphosisme]

To prove to the doctors that your not just some fat pig, that they are assholes for calling you obese when you actually had polyhydramnios

That you actually know what your talking about when you say you restrict and count calories

To say FUCK YOU WITHOUT HAVING TO VERBALLYSAY IT!

THAT FUCKING EYE ROLL THATS GIVEN WHEN YOU SAY YOU COUNT. SPECIFICALLY MY OBGYN

To loose so much more weight my belly sag gets even worse, bad enough to have the surgery partially paid for! Could have been prevented but no im just fucking obese!
